As Art says, If this has validity the National MS Society will check it out and YELL it's praises to the skies. So far no mention of it at their site.

We MSers aren't trying to be negative, but we've been through this many, many times. Usually well-meaning friends and relatives call as soon as they hear about a new treatment. (Art and Dharmabum, have you been approached about horse-back riding, Tai Chi, and special vitamins? The bee venom and fillings are old news, but I personally know folks that have done it.) I welcome the news, but have learned over the years to check it out thoroughly first.

The problem with MS is that it's a cyclical disease.....it's hard to know if improvement is due to a treatment or was just going to happen anyway. Also, many "miraculous cures" occur after a physical or emotional shock.......often not lasting........but certainly something to ivestigate. We have some of the best researchers IN HISTORY working furiously to find a cure for this disease.

Amazing that this story surfaced on Mudcat today......I just got back from seeing my neurologist and for the first time EVER, she finally answered a few questions. She admitted that if it weren't for Betaseron I'd probably be in a wheel chair today.
